Highlands Middle School

It works well for buyers who want a straightforward Jacksonville neighborhood with single-family homes and school-choice access to programs like the Lake Shore Middle School area and beyond. The steady pace — 89 homes sold in the past year — points to a settled, family-oriented community rather than a speculative one.

No — this is one of Jacksonville's more accessible zones, with a median list price of $340,990 and active listings ranging from $167,000 to $429,900. There are no listings above $1M, so it stays firmly in the mainstream price band.

Expect a median list price around $340,990 and a median sold price of $345,945 over the past year, working out to about $184 per square foot. For a typical 1,797-sqft home, that's a realistic entry point for a family-sized property.

It's balanced and unhurried, with 13 active listings and a median 66 days on market giving buyers breathing room. Sellers are still getting about 98% of asking, so well-priced homes move and there's a fair middle ground for negotiating.

Costs here are modest, with a median HOA of just $71 per month and a median property tax bill of $5,371 per year. If you'd rather rent first, the median rent runs about $2,288 per month in the Joseph Stilwell Middle School corridor nearby.
